Forums: NZ Music,

What other music do you like? I prefer d4 myself but theyre both pretty good!

Well i personally like the Datsuns a whole lot more....I really recommend the Datsuns album. I couldn't wait to get it, its a really wicked album!

:) :) :)

yeah i prefer the datsuns to the D4. But not by much it is a fuken hard choice to make! my vote tho would have to go to the datsuns! only just.

yeah thats what i've been thinking, its not a CD its a record we're talking about

shit thought i hadn't posted it yet!!!
shit im slow 2nite

hmmm hows about u go listen to them both and decide?

ummm cause they each cost $40
and i have a $20 library fine...
and i have to decide by this weekend...

last time i checked they were both at least 34.95. $40 bucks is normally for imports.

the d4 are quite good, but i'd have to say datsuns on this one.

*puts her hand up for datsuns.*

Well I think it's gotta come down to a one or two track play off in this situation. If you got tapes or mp3s of any of their tracks put your favourtie few in the stereo, turn em up full boar and make up you mind. In Love vs Exit To The City maybe.

i like them both, but i'll have to say the datsuns just because i know dolfs brother :P

really? but isnt he in the band? or is that just his cousins? well theyre all related some how. but still tell me?

nah his brother isnt in the band

The Datsuns are 'soo cool'

Hey Man tricky choice but I would have to go for the Datsuns

Datsun's. But aww the D4 rock too...

I change my mind. Go for the D4. Why can't you have them both jj?

my olds don't want to pay $80 for two records, they see it as a waste of money, but if they buy both, i profit out of it:D

Gotta be the D4 ... it's a really good reflection of what they're like live with some cool writing and great covers (how can you go wrong having Guitar Wolf , Johnny Thunders and Scavengers songs?)

The Datsuns, for me anyway, put out a fairly weak album that fails to capture much of their incredible live presence and misses two of my fave datsuns songs "Transistor" and "SuperGyration" ... it does have "Harmonic Generator" and "Lady" but a lot of stuff that sounds too close to bad 80's hair metal for my liking ... :)

Transistor is an awesome song, it should have been on the album

If we were talking about choosing a gig to go to I'd say Datsuns hands down - but the albums... I dunno...

Vocoder - for me the fact that the best songs on the D4 album are the covers (and to me they are, no question) is one thing that makes me a bit iffy about the D4 (though they're great songs).

And I gotta admit, I was hanging out for the Datsuns' album to include Hong Kong Fury.

probably go with XTOTL on the live thing, but have found I'm spinning the D4 CD more than the Datsuns one at home. "Get Loose" is a classic.

Nothing against the D4, but I reckon the Datsuns win hands down.

I'm gonna say D4. And it's even better on vinyl. I got a Party on 45 when I bought the album. The extra bass really makes it. Although the extra bass on vinyl would probably do the Datsuns a world of good as well.

hmmmm .. i love my datsuns vinyl lp (and 45s)

but yeh .. hard one to pick... have u thought about tossing a coin? heh

to me - the datsuns 'suit' vinyl better than the d4.......

go the datsuns fully.

neither- go for the stooges the stooges or fun house or the recent remix of raw power

Hey why delete my reply?

The datsuns or D4 - whats the difference?
go buy THE RAMONES!!

d4. they have a cong called rocknroll motherfucker.

datsuns. they have a song called motherfucker from hell.

.....and then there's the Bloody Souls with "Motherfucking Motherfucker".....

that song is so wickedly good.
oh yeah.

surely the definitive work in the genre of motherfucker-rock

check this out......legends..... fucking new york....cher...

The Datsuns. No question. Then again D4 don't take my fancy. From the singles Harmonic Generator, Lady and In Love seem its promising its gotta be better than the D4. And plus you get a free sticker with The Datsuns album. Hope that helps.

why dont you go straight to the source of all their inspiration and buy Led Zep - Houses of the holy??... If your into that shit...cool. I feel there is way more NZ talent that deserves your $40...bands that actually have depth to their message. Personal choice... Mother Guru (Self-Titled). "The Datsuns..?? shouldn't have sold out to KFC!

Just cause a band gets more exposure from having a song feature on a commercial doesn't always make them sell outs.

nice call Voltron, on the Led Zep thaing ... i'll start out listening to the Datsuns and pretty soon take it out to put on Led Zep or Stooges or even Accadacca ... put on the D4 and want to hear more from Nothing At All ...

That would be Led Zep III of course :)

yeah Voltron, that'd be my choice.
Mother Guru are far better than both those band. They had a better Big Day Out performance than both too. D4 just don't do it for me

OR,

why not just go to the store, listen and decide for yourself

duh

cause

Super gyration was such a good song though...with the vocals

yeah but they have improved since then. i don't think it was even them who played it for the KFC ad

D4. It's worth buying for Heartbreaker alone.

That song is just too cool for school!
If it came down to one song from each album, it would be Heartbreaker vs. In Love.
mmmmm dolf....

Iluv Dolf.... :P mmm
